We seem to have missed any serious damage from Hurricane Bill. I had intended to stand in the same places I had been when I had taken the photos on Friday and Saturday but that was impossible. The waves were incredible.

The top picture is Crescent Beach ..No Bathers today!

The second is Cherry Hill minus the surfers.

The third is overlooking Broadcove

We spoke to an Australian surfer who was watching the water with us and he said " We call that Death on a Stick, Mate.

The Bottom picture is Dublin Bay in front of our house. It doesn't look so soothing or mirror like today.

On September 2 1998 Swissair flight 111 crashed off Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia. All 229 passengers and crew died. This memorial at Bayswater is one of 2 . The lines in the granite moving away from the camers point to 44 North 63 West the location of the crash and the lines from the lower right to the left point to the second memorial near Peggy's Cove.
